Award-winning Irish avant-garde composer and vocalist Jennifer Walshe, known for her virtuoso extended vocal techniques, creates elaborate graphical scores that blend visual art with musical notation. The concert will feature works by Walshe and others, including whives, a piece notated in embroidered drawings of soccer players; nature data, a piece constructed from a panoply of animal and insect sounds, originally commissioned for performance in the Butterfly House at the Royal Imperial Palace, Vienna; and My Extensive Relationship with Mr. Stephen Patrick M. (i), a score which is worn by the performer. Special guest flutist Jane Rigler will also perform. Projections and an exhibition of the scores will accompany the performance.
